Sterope:
You ask why Muslims pray to be guided to the straight path every day. But perhaps your real question should have been: why does anyone pray at all?

People pray for health, for success, for protection, or simply for strength to do what is right. In Islam, that daily prayer X 5 is a reminder that righteousness isn’t a fixed state because life isn't, and life is about continuous striving; it’s something you keep working towards. The Qur’an repeats that faith/righteousness is not words alone but consistent and continuos actions guided by sincerity and humility.

Muslims ask for guidance every day because we recognise how easily people can lose their way. Even believers, no matter how devout, can drift from truth without constant reflection and discipline. It is beyond repetition but a constant spiritual reminder that every choice, every moment, can either align us with truth or pull us away from it.

Interestingly, the your Bible carries a similar principle: “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” That line from the Lord’s Prayer mirrors the same human need for continuous guidance and moral steadiness as well.

Again, your question doesn’t surprise me. Debates with certain Christians are always revealing, they either ask questions that make you wonder whether they’ve truly read the Bible, or ones that sound more like the arguments of atheists like this question.

Lukuluku69:
Lol

Deity don't set themselves up, adherents do. Just like the Nicene Creed set up your Jesus as a rival to the One that sent him. Are you that slow to know that?

The same way you don't know whether Jesus mission to the prison of Judgement was a success or a failure is the same way I don't know whether it is the Osun people or the Osugbo people that preached the name Eledumare.

Lukuluku69:
Before you go off the bend as usual, I never mentioned Obatala, Esu Odara, Osun Osogbo in my reply but move closer to the adherents of these people you referenced and ask them about who Eledumare/Olodumare is and learn from them. I am Yoruba, and I don't need any Osun Osogbo person/people to tell me who Eledumare is or who my Eleda (Creator) is.

So, feel free to write your usual stuff. That one no concern me.

Lukuluku69:
And We have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those [whose stories] We have related to you, and among them are those [whose stories] We have not related to you. And it was not for any messenger to bring a sign [or verse] except by permission of Allah . So when the command of Allah comes, it will be concluded in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon lose [all] Quran 40:78.

You want me to name the Prophets/Messengers sent to Africa? Read the above verse again. That said, I don't know the tribe you came from in Africa/Nigeria but I know that it was not the Arabs or Europeans that preached a Divine Being to the Yorubas and I have done a bit of research, what I found out is that, a certain Eledumare/Olodumare (depending on dialects) was preached, who is the Eleda (Creator) Olu Orun/Olohun/Olorun who is also the Supreme Being of the Host of Heaven.

I am sure when you research other tribes, someone must have preached the Divine being to them and they are not the Semites.

Lukuluku69:
Your understanding of Spiritual knowledge is so HIGH yet you don't know what transpired in the Prison of Judgement? You don't know of the inmates reception to what was preached and it is my own knowledge that is LOW?

Surah An-Nahl (16:36): "And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], 'Worship Allah and avoid taghut.' And among them were those whom Allah guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So proceed through the earth and observe how was the end of the deniers."

That's how everyone will be judged on Judgement Day. Your reception to that message.

Lukuluku69:
He spent Three (3) earth days to preach in the Prison of Judgment but spent Three years to preach only in Judea? Okay. Good of him.

So, you don't know if he was also rejected as the Jews did of his earthly mission? Okay.

I could have asked you to open another thread as usual to know how Allah will judge people on the day of Judgement of people before Islam but if you have ever comprehend what Islam teaches all along, you would have known that YOUR FAITH IN ALLAH AND YOUR WORKS will stand you in good stead with Allah regardless of the time you walked Allah Crust.

Lukuluku69:
So, for how long did he preach in that Prison of Judgement? Can you also tell us the reception of those in that prison was to Jesus preaching?

Lukuluku69:
Then again, what happened to the Incas, the Commanches, Cheneyes etc who lived and died before Jesus message could get to them?

What about those who lived in Africa before the Europeans brought Jesus message? Was that Prsion visit suffices for admission to Heaven?

helinues:
Spiritual location like Milky way Galaxy, Andromeda Galaxy?

Of all the infinite planets that we have, why should planet earth be special

Lukuluku69:
So, those that lived and died before Christ will not see Heaven according to this logic of yours?

helinues:
You people are yet to tell us where this heaven and hell of a thing is located

AntiChristian:


Grace or works?

Abi na grace and works?

Too many wàhálà!

CoronaVirusPro:
Everyone inherited religion and I must applaud His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) for saying the truth.

Henceforth, we must desist from doing same to our children. Brainwashing them with sky daddy stories about how a man died for their sins in the Middle East.

We must start introducing them to the marvels of science and technology and how it transitioned, and the possible future.

The notion of stuffing the brains of young kids with fictional religious stories must stop if the country intends to be competitive in the future.

Religious studies should be banned in all primary and tertiary institutions. We can’t keep telling kids how a man used one fish and a loaf to feed 40,000 people. It’s utmost stupidity.

CoronaVirusPro:
Some people will start taking Tramadol about how people choose to live their life’s and find happiness.

If they happy as a couple so be it! Congratulations to them!

Onlinetutor7:
Most Hamas sympathizers actually don't rate nor love the people of Gaza. It's all about hate for Israel. They will prefer the War continues so they can keep shouting genocide.

Sellfish:
Donald hustling tooth-and-nail for his Nobel Peace Prize

Hustle recognizes Hustle

After Hamas releases the hostages, and then US/Israel renege on their own part of the agreement, who will the Palestinians cry to?..the now-impotent UN?

Bullshitter Donald bullshitting the Hamaz bullshitters..the real "American Hustle"

Ekrenji:
I noticed this also, there was this post on what non Muslims said about Mohammed and they were just mentioning what people that said what they like about Mohammed said but I innocently asked what Martin Luther said about Mohammed and my comment was deleted immediately, just for asking a question

Ekrenji:
This is a very interesting topic @TenQ please provide more information on it.

Helinuse:
Hamas ruled Gaza for more than 20 years and didn’t name even one street “Palestine.”
😅😅😅

Meaning that they are not interested in any state of their own. And we all know what they are interested in. But what we are sure and can swear to is that:

“Sahih Mus. 146
It is narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar ('Abdullah b. 'Umar) that the Messenger of Allaxhx (ﷺ) observed:
Verily Islxmmx started as something strange and it would again revert (to its old position) of being strange just as it started, and it would recede between the two moskes just as the serpent crawls back into its hole.


No be me talk am oh 😅

AntiChristian:
Your cho Cho Cho too much!

AntiChristian:
Don't just avoid the truth! Even in your response the Epistle of Barnabas falls into the range and you skipped it. Why are you like this? Always hiding the truth and playing to the gallery!

You remain a peddler of falsehood!

Since it has been established that the Epistle of Barnabas was in existence during the compilation of the New testament so why was it rejected?

BlackfireX:
Na question TenQ ask ...ordinary question Alfa AntiChristian started singing werey song like Taye currency.


The way this Alfa Ganusi propagator of arabu level mention Holy Spirit with blasphemy, I hope you know this isn't a child s play.



So back to the question

AntiChristian:
The Gospel of Thomas and the Epistle of Barnabas have significant overlap with the writing period of the New Testament books.

Gospel of Thomas:
Estimated Composition: 50-140 CE
Overlap: This gospel was likely written around the same time as the later New Testament books, such as the Gospel of John, and potentially even earlier, overlapping with the writing of the Pauline epistles.

The Epistle of Barnabas:
Estimated Composition: 70-132 CE
Overlap: This text was written around the same time as the Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of John, and the later Pauline epistles.

All historical sources have the tedencies to be true or false! More importantly is the science of the hadith which is clearly established unlike the Biblical canonization which is shrouded in secrecy!

If you give an hadith for example, we can say the hadith comes from the Prophet to a named Companion who related it to his son who is the one finally relating the hadith! Each persons will be evaluated for honesty and sound mind! Also important is if the persons meet one another in real life.

Your Bible is not like that! Everything is Holy Spirit....

DomPerignon:
Occupied Palestine which they dubbed Israel even though they are not Israelites but descendants of Babylonian Pharisees cult aka Iduomites is akin to the Porter's field which Judas was buried .

They have through the blood soaked money they enriched themselves from orchestrating 2 world wars for the sole aim of decimating christian Europe purchased the lease of Palestine from the British imperialists through the infamous Balfour Agreement.

They then invaded Palestine after WW2 and began their reign of terror and land grab after WW2.

The state of occupied Palestine aka fake Israel is a state borne out of terrorism , war and blood of millions of Christians.

And just like Judas, they have bought the deeds to their grave.

TenQ:
What if you verified from the earliest Islamic historical sources that prophet Mohammad's body started decomposition before he was buried, would this affect your faith in Islam?

Why?
Except the hadith is Maudu, this will invalidate the prophethood of Mohammed, the Qur'an AND every other thing he preached.

This means that even, the shahada becomes useless.

Sunan Abi Dawud 1531
Aws b. Aws reported the Messenger of Allah as saying:
Among the most excellent of your days is Friday; so invoke many blessings on me on that day, for your blessing will be submitted to me. They (the Companions) asked: Messenger of Allah, how can our blessings be submitted to you, when your body has decayed? He said: Allah has prohibited the earth from consuming the bodies of Prophets.

So, if as a Muslim you can confirm that indeed according to early Islamic historical documents the Mohammed's corpse decayed, would you

1. Disregard such a knowledge and keep on practicing Islam as you have known it
2. Regards the hadith like Sunan Abi Dawud 1531 as fake and untrustworthy
3. Question other Islamic information you have recieved for authenticity
4. Block your ears and eyes to such faith destroying evidence and drown yourself in salat
5. Walk out of Islam
6. Become aggressive to anyone reiterating such kinds of information
7. Don't care about anything like this


I just want your opinion as this is not a debate!
